Who cares about cosines--how much should we tip
the waitress?
Math for the Real World from Kaplan presents teens and preteens with
the math
they'll actually need to get through
the day.
The program is set up as a narrative game; as you hit
the road with your band (
the Arithmetones), get ready for problems: How much should you pay for a new guitar? Which month did you make
the most
money? What size frames do you need for your posters?
Over 4,000 crazy developments haunt your tour and force you to use your brain to keep following the beat toward your final destination. Online help is always available if you get stumped, and the difficulty level constantly adjusts to your successes. Once you've completed your tour, you can enter the studio and make your own music video along with one of the songs provided--you can even jam along with the musicians if you like!
The creative problems are all based in the reality of the story, rather than dry, random textbook scenarios, and there's enough variety that you rarely see the same one twice. Even the most obsessive teen will find the music wearing thin after a while, but by mixing up the songs a bit you should be able to keep playing and jamming until you've got the subject covered. It might not make you a rocket scientist, but Kaplan's Math for the Real World will help you cover your financial bases and keep waitresses happy for the rest of your life. --Rob Lightner
